Fager Felix Sweet Iron Baby Fulmer Snaffle Bit

The Fager Felix Sweet Iron Baby Fulmer is a thoughtfully designed bit ideal for young, sensitive, or green horses learning to accept contact. Crafted with Fager’s unique Smart System and made from sweet iron, this bit promotes relaxation, softness, and improved communication between horse and rider.

The sweet iron mouthpiece is designed to oxidize over time, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation and bit acceptance. Horses often respond positively to this, becoming more willing to work into the contact and stay soft in the mouth. The Felix features a single-jointed mouthpiece that’s ergonomically curved to relieve pressure on the tongue and reduce interference with the roof of the mouth. Fager’s Smart System locks the joint to prevent the “nutcracker” effect, making it more stable and comfortable for the horse.

The baby fulmer cheeks combine the lateral support of a full cheek with the mobility of a loose ring, making it ideal for improving steering without creating excessive pressure. This setup helps prevent the bit from being pulled through the mouth and encourages a straighter, more balanced frame. It’s particularly useful for horses that tend to fall out through the shoulder or become inconsistent in the bridle.

The Felix can be fitted two ways—one with the locking mechanism engaged for added stability, and the other with a traditional jointed feel for a softer, more flexible connection. This makes it versatile enough to suit different horses and training stages.

This bit is especially well-suited for horses that are hesitant to take contact, drop behind the hand, or need extra encouragement to lift and stretch forward. With its gentle, anatomically shaped mouthpiece and supportive cheekpieces, the Fager Felix Baby Fulmer is an excellent option for riders seeking a soft yet effective bit that promotes comfort and responsiveness.
